Sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries are an emerging battery technology, on the cusp of commercialisation, with promising cost, safety, sustainability and performance benefits when compared to lithium-ion batteries. They can use widely available and inexpensive raw materials and existing lithium-ion production methods, promising rapid scalability. Na-ion batteries are an attractive prospect in meeting global demand for carbon-neutral energy storage, where lifetime operational cost, not weight or volume, is the overriding factor. Increasingly sodium-ion batteries have characteristics comparable to lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, suggesting that even automotive applications are possible. This presentation from IDTechEx, will cover the developments in global sodium-ion battery markets. Attendees can expect to learn about this emerging beyond-lithium energy storage technology, especially as first mass productions are already starting in China.
The following aspects will be addressed:
